Thorn's pack upscales most of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance's textures with ESRGAN, with edits where they were needed. Important textures still missing were planned for a later update.

Backgrounds and portraits stretch in 16:9, so the game is best played at 4:3. Thorn suggests 3x internal resolution, 2x MSAA and, on Vulkan or OpenGL, 16x anisotropic filtering. Higher anti-aliasing works but leaves lines on some UI elements. Texture filtering should be left off and fog left on.

## How to set it up

1. In Dolphin, open **File > Open User Folder**, then go into `Load/Textures/`.
2. Extract the download there, so you end up with a `Load/Textures/GFE/` folder.
3. Open **Graphics > Advanced** and tick **Load Custom Textures**. Ticking **Prefetch Custom Textures** too stops stutter, if you have the RAM for it.
